Re-set, Re-start, Re-Fresh
With the new year upon us our LackSafe team are preparing for another busy year ahead.
Our LackSafe program is centred around achieving a culture at work where “everyone looks out for everyone” and we are actively involved in making what we do “a safe and healthier place to work”.
Our commitment is to “every person going home safe and healthy, every day”.
A key component of our LackSafe program is employee engagement ranging from engagement initiatives, employee awareness, support programs and ultimately “having a say in what they do”.
Wonderful turn out this morning to our LackSafe engagement and BBQ session that was held at our Goonellabah depot, where Kyle and Andrew delivered consistency in key topics following yesterday’s session in South Australia.

Natural Disasters
With the current bush fires tearing through large parts of the Australian Capital Territory and Southern Coast of New South Wales we would like to take a moment to remind everyone of the importance of safety and staying alert during these harsh conditions.
Unfortunately the bush fires are not the only natural events devastating Australia as the floods in South Australia continue to cause havoc. As the water rises we want people to remember, if the road is flooded, hold safe lacksafe culture during these tough conditions.

Bush Fire Awareness
As most of you are aware, we are currently going through one of the worst 
bush fires ever seen in Australia. As flames tear through large parts of New South Wales, firefighters, volunteers and charity workers are providing round-the-clock support for those devastated by the ongoing bushfires.
Lack Group would like to acknowledge the hard work, support and dedication our crews have shown these past months during these tough times. These traffic controllers are exposed to harsher conditions not limited to, poor visibility and smoky conditions, remote and excluded areas and come face to face with the true devastation that threatens the native land with its flora, fauna and our livelihood.
Thank you for your hard work and dedication.

Pacific Highway Closure
Pacific Highway closure - On Monday and Tuesday night our Gold Coast team performed a scheduled shutdown of the Pacific Highway on behalf of RMS so they could conduct routine maintenance. The highway was closed from 2000 and 0500 between Stuarts Road and the GC Highway exits with a detailed detour set up to and from the highway.
Great work from all 14 of our Gold Coast team members who ensured a smooth set up and transitioning of the detour works.
Prior to the shutdown commencing we performed two Toolbox talks 1. Mates in Constructions (MIC) and 2. Importance of Safety, PPE and Team Culture within the Lack Group.
